My uncle caught this 7 foot sand tiger shark while we were fishing 16 miles off shore in the Gulf of Mexico.

  • We were not exactly sure that it was a sand tiger. We looked up pictures online and compared it to this video to see what it looked like most. We had it down to a Sand Tiger, Nurseshark, and I think a bullshark... so you may very well be right.

  • Did you release the shark afterwards?

    I couldn't exactly see if you cut the line at the end or not etc.....

    I ask because ,to me, letting them go or not makes all the difference between traditional sport and a barbaric crime.

    On my oppinion if someone catch a fish he should either release it or take it for dinner.

    But thousands of sharks are killed every year for fun an a photo and afterwards they get dumped. And this is a crime to me and thats why I ask.

    (SRY for my bad English btw)

  • we cut the line.  we did not have the means to bring it in the boat and we don't kill fish for fun/
